Treasures of Central IndiaUncover India's rich history and cultural and religious heritage. You'll tour the vibrant city of Mumbai and explore the painted caves and rock-cut temples of Ajanta and Ellora before ending the trip in Goa, roaming the cobbled streets and relaxing on the long sandy beaches.

Taste of IndiaIndia was the perfect choice for one of our new collection of Food and Drink holidays. The south offers incredible variety for a foodie, from the freshest seafood on the coast to spicy, dry curries in Chettinad. On this journey you'll try your hand at making Tibetan steamed momos, learn about food's role in an ayuverdic lifestyle and buy the morning's catch direct from Kochi's fishermen.

Sikkim and Singalila TrekThis rewarding, moderate-rated trek takes you along the Singalila Ridge, following the border of India and Nepal. This region offers incredible views of the world's third highest mountain, Kanchenjunga (8586m) as well as Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m) to the east.
